Specification at a glance – Subject Content

• Component 1 – Properties of number

• Component 2 – The four operations

• Component 3 – Ratio

• Component 4 – Money

• Component 5 – The calendar and time

• Component 6 – Measures

• Component 7 – Geometry

• Component 8 – Statistics

Slide 4 Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved.

8 components as previously; more emphasis on number; no aural test

Specification at a glance – Assessments

• Each portfolio should contain the 8 components.

• There must be between 4 and 8 external assignments.

• Remaining components should be made up of internally set classwork.

• Each external assignment has 30 marks available, 10 marks at each level.

• There will be 3 versions of each component’s external assignment.

• External assignments must be marked following the published mark schemes

• All assessment materials are available on demand from the secure area of the website. Certification is now twice a year in January and June.

• First certification is in June 2017, followed by January 2018

• Specimen assignments are already available.

Slide 5 Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved.

Specification at a glance – Internally Set Components

• Each internally set component has:

3 outcomes at Entry level 1

5 outcomes at Entry level 2

7 outcomes at Entry level 3

• Evidence for a maximum of four components should be from classwork.

• In some instances an Entry 3 outcome may subsume an Entry 1 and/or anEntry 2 outcome. These are published in the specification. If an outcome isnot subsumed then evidence of completion must be included in the portfolio.

• The qualification achieved is defined by the total number of marks gainedacross the whole portfolio, with internally set outcomes counting double.

Changes incontent

Content changes and similarities

• Follows the programmes of study for the New National Curriculum

• At Entry Level 1, numbers now go up to 20

• A greater emphasis on Number, the first 3 components are on Number

Properties (Reading, writing, counting, ordering and rounding)

The four operations ( including problems)

Ratio (fractions as shading and as a quantity of an amount)

• Remaining components are very similar to the previous specification

• All components are eligible for our Unit Awards Scheme, helping students to feel they have achieved, even if they have been unable to complete the whole ELC

Using the published mark schemes

• Practice specimen paper exercises and mark scheme (printed separately)

• Activity 1 – Component 2 - The four operations

• Activity 2 – Component 4 - Money

Internally-setwork

Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved. Follow us on Twitter @AQACPD.Slide 11

Internal Work – Which resources can be used

• Worksheets provided on the AQA website will address all outcomes

• Schools/colleges can write their own worksheets, which are more appropriate for their students but must make sure they do address the outcome adequately and are annotated with the component and outcome.

• Other published schemes such as ‘10Ticks’ may have appropriate work, but if a worksheet/textbook is used with no space for an answer then the sheet needs to be photocopied for the moderator.

• Work could be ‘project’ based, with Component 8 Statistics being the obvious example, but schools/colleges need to be clear when annotating the work that the outcomes have been addressed with sufficient evidence.

• For Entry Level 1/2 students there could be photographic evidence of completion of an outcome with a witness statement, from the use of practical equipment eg in Component 4 (Money), Component 5 (Calendar and Time) or Component 7 (Geometry).

Page 11: AQA qualification support · PDF file• Worksheets from   ... Entry Level Maths Support ... • suggests which parts of Foundation Level GCSE will lead on from Entry

Internal Work – Examples of Internal Work

• Worksheets from www.mathworksheets4kids.com

This website has a variety of resources that fit Entry Level at all 3 levels

Any sheets used need to be annotated.

See examples for Component 1 Outcomes 2.4, 3.4, 2.1, 3.2Component 7 Outcomes 1.1, 2.4, Component 8 Outcomes 2.3, 3.2

• Supplementary Questions or Centre Written Worksheets

If a published or internet derived worksheet does not fully address an outcome then the Centre can write their own, making sure it is annotated.

See example Component 1 – Outcome 3.4These questions would extend candidates and help the move to GCSE for Level 3 candidates.

Slide 13 Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved.

Internal Work – Assessing Outcomes

• Each outcome achieved is worth 1 mark and must be fully completed to be awarded, as there are no half marks.

• A component of Internal Work will be worth a maximum of 15, but has a double weighting. The mark is doubled at the point of putting the portfolio together.

• A student does not have to get all the questions correct, but the person assessing and marking the work must be convinced that the student has got enough questions right to be sure they have achieved the outcome.

Slide 14 Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved.

Example of Awarding Subsumed Outcomes

Component 2 – The four operations (calculator not allowed)

Outcome 3.1 – Add and subtract using 3-digit numbers

Subsumed outcomes are:

1.1 Add two whole numbers with a total up to 201.2 Subtract one number up to 20 from another2.1 Add whole numbers with a total up to 1002.2 Subtract one number up to 100 from another

Completing Outcome 3.1 will be equivalent to completing 5 outcomes.

Route Maps

AQA ELC Route Map is a flexible planning tool designed to help you:

• organise teaching of the whole specification around your timetable

• find the resources you need to help teach each topic

• customise your delivery

• suggests which parts of Foundation Level GCSE will lead on from Entry Level outcomes

• has an end date of December in Year 11 to allow Entry Level 3 entries to be made in January, allowing time for further GCSE topics to be covered for those expected to achieve a Grade 1 or 2 under the new grading structure.

Slide 20 Copyright © AQA and its licensors. All rights reserved.

Alternate teaching strategies for ELC Level 3

The Route Map on the AQA website is one suggestion of how to teach ELC.

Schools/colleges and students for ELC tend to be diverse.

Previous experience for ELC Level 3 students / GCSE Grade 1

• Try the student with the first set of external assignments or the soecimens

• If the scores for all the tests are around 200 then students will be at the required standard to be awarded ELC level 3 – move straight to GCSE

• If scores are variable, choose the best component tests and use worksheets for the remaining components to complete the portfolio, as teaching guidance can be given

• Use ELC Worksheets as starting points for GCSE, but bank the completed work in case it is needed towards the end of Year 11 as a back-up
